WHAT – Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D – Glen Cove) and New York State are partnering to host an Emergency Preparedness Workshop at the Glen Cove Senior Center on Tuesday, Oct. 29.
Presented by the State’s Citizens Preparedness Corps, the workshops are designed to equip residents with the tools and resources to prepare for any type of natural or man-made disaster, respond accordingly, and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions. Each family participating will receive a free Citizen Preparedness Corps Response Starter Kit filled with emergency prep essentials like a radio, flashlight, batteries, freshwater packets, food packs, heavy-duty gloves, tarp, emergency blanket, water container, glow stick and whistle.
“As severe weather events become more frequent and more dangerous, it is essential to be prepared for an unexpected emergency,” Minority Leader DeRiggi-Whitton said. “The last workshop I hosted with the Citizens Preparedness Corps filled to capacity, so I encourage everyone who wants to attend our Glen Cove workshop to reserve your spot today. Thank you to the State and the Glen Cove Senior Center for partnering with us to host this important workshop.”
